Description:

A generator may use knowledge to make a characteristic determination, including the total waste concentration. When using total waste analysis in lieu of the extraction procedure (EP) or TCLP tests, the generator must assume all the contaminant present in the waste will migrate or leach into a liquid extract. A discussion of the maximum theoretical extract concentration (MTEC) (SEE ALSO: RPC# 1/1/94-01).
